A safe place to learn and grow, that serves our needs and enriches our lives in a supportive, fun and caring environment.
In Ozanam House we continue to develop resources for the local community here in Dublin’s inner city. The demands on our services keep growing, and we are always looking for new ideas and volunteers for fundraising events. We need your help, and you can help us in many different ways:
If you have a great idea for a Fundraiser, you can now easily set-up and Run a Fundraiser page on the main SVP website, HERE »
Create your own SVP fundraising page by filling in your details.
Once your page is live, send the link to your family, friends and colleagues to sponsor you.
It is our biggest annual fundraiser event and is a major source of financial support for Ozanam House Resource Centre.
Every year, usually around March or April, volunteer dance couples from Ozanam House and our various partner companies learn a dance routine from scratch, and perform it in front of a live audience in one big event. The Event is usually hosted in a theatre in Dublin city centre.
The Dancers compete for the title of 'Ozanam Come Dancing Champions' using their skills and talents in both dancing and fundraising. Our Dancers train for the event over a 3 month period learning from an expert dance instructor, and spend that time fundraising and gathering supporters for their big night.
The event 'Ozanam Come Dancing' raises much needed funds for the Youth Summer Projects.
The Ozanam House Summer Projects gives 280 young people from our community a memorable experience in a safe, nurturing, yet fun filled environment, during their school summer holidays.
Our Partners are Companies and Organisations who actively support Ozanam House Resource Centre throughout the year. Their members and employees share similar values as us, and they support the mission of Ozanam House. Many volunteer their time and skills in our various programmes within Ozanam House.
The companies join us in the fun of the annual Ozanam Come Dancing fundraising event, and put forth dancing contestants to participate in the event.
If you or your company would like to get involved with this event next time round, please let us know early on, as much planning is involved. We usually begin recruiting our Volunteer dancers at the beginning of November each year.
If you would like to register your interest (as an individual or as a couple or as a corporate partner) or would like more details please send an email to [email protected]
